Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dual-band amplification module and more particularly, although not exclusively, an amplification module intended to be installed in a radiotelephony mobile in order to alternately amplify the signals of one of two operating bands of this mobile.
  • radio networks operating in two distinct frequency bands have been considered.
  • a user being able to register, manually or automatically, in one of the frequency bands according to the size of each of the frequency bands at the time of the arrival of the user in the zone considered.
  • To each frequency band it is necessary to associate an amplifier adapted to amplify this frequency band.
  • a dual-band amplification module comprising a first and a second amplifier adapted to amplify respectively a first and a second frequency band and each comprising a transistor, an input matching circuit, a circuit a polarization source comprising a polarization source, an interruption member disposed in the polarization circuit, an output matching circuit, and a bandpass filter disposed downstream of the output matching circuit; first and second output blocking circuits each comprising a first PIN diode in series in the output line of an amplifier between the output matching circuit and the bandpass filter, and a second PIN diode connected in parallel to the first PIN diode downstream of the latter, and associated with a decoupling capacitor, the PIN diodes of the first and of the second output blocking circuit having an input terminal respectively connected to the bias source of the second and of the first amplifier, and the second PIN diode of the first and second output blocking circuits having an output terminal respectively connected to the interruption member of the bias circuit of the second and first amplifier;
  • the first and second output blocking circuits are connected to a polarization source common to the two amplifiers arranged in parallel to the two output blocking circuits between the input terminals thereof .
  • the voltage which ensures the blocking of one of the output blocking circuits simultaneously ensures the polarization of the amplifier associated with the other output blocking circuit so that the overall dimensions and the consumption are minimized. of the device.
  • each output matching circuit comprises means ensuring a DC coupling between the transistor and the corresponding output blocking circuit.
  • the collector voltage of the transistor is maintained at a high level so that a low coupling capacity is ensured at the level of the base-collector link of the transistor and consequently a high attenuation of the disturbances that may occur.
  • the bandpass filters of the two amplifiers are connected to each other in parallel, the bandpass filter associated with the first amplifier has a very high impedance with respect to signals at the pass frequencies of the bandpass filter associated with the second amplifier, and the bandpass filter associated with the second amplifier includes an impedance matching line having a length achieving very low impedance with respect to signals at the frequencies of the second amplifier and a very high impedance with respect to signals at the operating frequencies of the first amplifier.
  • the dual-band amplification module comprises a first amplifier generally designated at 1 and a second amplifier generally designated in 2.
  • the first amplifier is for example intended to amplify signals in a frequency band close to 900 MHz and the second amplifier is intended to amplify signals in a frequency band close to 400 MHz.
  • Each amplifier has a transistor 3, the base of which is connected to an input matching circuit 4 which is itself connected to the input terminal of the amplifier.
  • the emitter of transistor 3 is connected to ground and the collector is connected to an output matching circuit 5.
  • the output matching circuit 5 is preferably of the type ensuring DC coupling and comprises for example at this effect a series inductor 16 associated with an alternative decoupling capacitor 17 mounted in parallel and connected to ground.
  • the base of transistor 3 is also connected to a common bias source 6 by means of an interrupting member generally designated at 7 and more particularly in 7.1 for the amplifier 1 and in 7.2 for the amplifier 2 , this particular numbering being adopted subsequently for the components which are similar in each of the amplification lines and which it is however necessary to distinguish by the clarity of the explanations.
  • the interrupting member 7 is of any type, mechanical or electrical, in particular it can be constituted by a transistor controlled remotely by a communications management center when a user registers in a zone.
  • An output blocking circuit 8 the structure of which will be detailed below, is also mounted in the bias circuit between the interrupting member 7 and the bias source 6.
  • each amplification line includes a bandpass filter generally designated at 9 and identified more precisely with the reference numeral 9.1 for the bandpass filter associated with the amplifier 1, and 9.2 for the bandpass filter associated with the amplifier 2.
  • the bandpass filter 9.1 is of a type known per se having a high impedance for signals included in an operating frequency band of the amplifier 2 and is connected directly to a common point 10 itself connected to a mixer, not shown, by a line 11.
  • bandpass filter 9.2 is connected to the common point 10 via a 50 ohm line, known in itself, having a length such that its apparent impedance is very low in the operating frequency band.
  • amplifier 2 and its apparent impedance is on the contrary very high in the operating frequency band of amplifier 1.
  • Each blocking circuit 8 comprises a first PIN diode 13 in series in the output line of the amplifier and having an input terminal connected to the bias source 6, and a second PIN diode 14 mounted in parallel with the first diode PIN 13 downstream of the latter and associated with a decoupling capacitor 15 itself connected to ground.
  • the PIN diode 14.1 has its output connected to the interrupting member 7.2 of the amplifier 2 while the PIN diode 14.2 has its output connected to the interrupting member 7.1 of the amplifier 1.
  • a reference voltage source 18 is connected via a high resistance to each amplification circuit on the one hand at a point 19 between the collector of transistor 3 and the corresponding adaptation circuit 5, and on the other hand at a point 20 disposed between the interrupting member 7 and the second PIN diode 14 which is associated with it.
  • the respective voltages of the reference voltage source 18 and of the bias source 6 are such that the voltage at the common point of the two PIN diodes 13 and 14 is less than the value of the reference voltage.
  • the operation of the device according to the invention is as follows: assuming that the interrupt member 7.1 is closed and the interrupt member 7.2 is open, the transistor 3 of the amplifier 2 is not polarized and is therefore blocked. Simultaneously, the PIN diode 13.2 is blocked due to the potential difference across its terminals while the PIN diode 14.2 conducts, which makes it possible to bias the transistor 3 of the amplifier 1. This results in a lowering of the collector voltage of the transistor 3 of amplifier 1 and, consequently, the conduction of diode PIN 13.1 while diode PIN 14.1 is on the contrary blocked by the voltage difference between point 20 and the voltage resulting from the bias source 6.
  • the signals in a frequency band close to 900 MHz are therefore transmitted by the first amplification line and pass through the bandpass filter 9.1.
  • the 50 ohm line 12 appears with a very high impedance and the signals received are therefore transmitted to the processing device via line 11.
  • the bias source is preferably common to the two amplifiers, it is possible to provide separate bias sources each connected to an amplification line between the blocking circuit and the bandpass circuit .
  • the operation of the amplification device will remain exactly the same. In this case it will be noted that the polarization of the first amplifier always passes through the second output blocking circuit while the polarization of the second amplifier passes through the first output blocking circuit.
  • the polarization of the first amplifier always passes through the second output blocking circuit while the polarization of the second amplifier passes through the first output blocking circuit.
